Speed Sensing and Battery
Speed Sensing
The controller monitors the revolutions per minute (RPM) of the engine. It uses the speed data to
determine when the engine has started and if it is running at the correct speed. The following table
outlines the settings associated with speed sensing:
SETTING
DESCRIPTION
Signal Source
Choose between J1939, Magnetic Pickup, or Genset Signal (AC
Voltage) as a speed source.
Speed Settings
Sets the values for generator RPM, AC frequency and flywheel teeth.
Fault Set Points
Configures the points at which the controller will detect a warning or
failure based on the speed reading.
NOTE
: When using J1939 or Genset Signal as a signal source, connections to the speed
sensing terminals are not required.
Battery Settings
The controller has the ability to monitor the battery voltage supplying the controller. While monitoring,
the controller can go into a failure mode if the voltage gets too low or too high, as well as start the engine
to recharge the battery.
SETTING
DESCRIPTION
Battery Recharge
Enables or disables the battery recharge function.
Recharge Setup
Determines the recharge voltage level, pre-alarm time, and run duration
for the battery recharge feature.
Fault Set Points
Configures the points at which the controller will detect a warning or
failure based on the battery voltage.
Cranking Battery
Screen displays 'Low Voltage During Cranking' warning if voltage falls
below this level during cranking.
NOTE
: When the generator is running, the battery voltage will equal the alternator charging
voltage. The actual open-circuit battery voltage may be lower than displayed.
